The 27-year-old resides in Hidden Hills, a gated community in the Santa Monica Mountains region of Los Angeles County.
While most people complimented Kylie's look, others focused on the background of the photo, noticing what seemed to be fake grass in her front yard.
"That is so trailer park, she uses fake grass," one observer commented.
"She ain't got no real grass?" another asked.

While the Kylie Cosmetics founder has not responded to the comments, some have speculated that she may have chosen the fake grass as an option to conserve water, given Southern California's dry climate.
"Fake grass does reduce water use via watering. However, it also is a synthetic product produced from plastic and therefore is likely to have a fossil fuel origin," said Benjamin Blonder, associate professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley, in an email to Bored Panda.
"Fake grass also contributes microplastics to the environment. It becomes hot in the summer and supports no life."

"If you want a garden and you are concerned about water, plant a water-smart garden with plants that can cope with drier conditions, start to be water wise in your home and adjust to the hotter drier conditions. Don’t make the mistake of turning your garden into a plastic desert," Sebastian Pfautsch, professor of Urban Planning and Management at Western Sydney University, told Bored Panda.
"It is no service to declining biodiversity and your kids will burn their bare feet. And by the way, it is pretty unhygienic too if you have pets/wildlife around.
"And I haven’t even mentioned the weeds that will come through which need to be managed, and you’re back in a hot garden labouring to make it look nice. There are many alternatives to this material."
Blonder suggests using alternative materials for low-water landscaping instead of artificial grass, such as gravel or drought-tolerant plants like certain types of succulents. "These alternatives provide important habitat/resources for other species and contribute to soil and environmental health."

Kylie's Academy Awards appearance came after the loss of her hairstylist and friend, Jesus Guerrero.
The star paid a heartfelt tribute to Jesus on Instagram, sharing throwback photos and videos that reflected their close bond. "Jesus was more than my friend - he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support," she penned.
"'I don't know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.
"Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend.

"The pain of losing you is just unbearable and I don't know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love. and I loved you so much. You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist.
"You inspired so many, and you always will. Your words, your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful spirit will live in my heart forever. I'll cherish all our moments together. Every laugh and hug."
She concluded, "I wish I could hug you again. I laid in your bed the way you used to lay in mine, talking for hours. I would give anything for one more deep talk. I'm going to miss you so much. more than any words can say. 222 my angel."
Jesus' family first shared the tragic news on February 23, saying on social media that the 34-year-old had passed away "suddenly and unexpectedly" the day before.
